So, I put my comp. together last night:
Lian Li PC-65B (4 stock case fans)
Antec TruePower 480 (2 fans)
Asus 9800xt (2 stock fans)
A64/3200+ (stock HSF)
This things sounds like an angry vaccuum cleaner. I did install my PSU upside down (I'm not joking... the internal fan - ie., not the one in back of the case, but on top of the PSU). It's pointing up into the top of the case, instead of down. I thought that maybe this was the cause of all the noise, except the PSU fans sound quiet... most of the noise seems to be coming from inside the case -- ie., maybe the HSF or the rear chasis fan.
Any thoughts on how to reduce noice? I love my new system, but it hurts my ears! FYI, this is my first case build, so any help / tips are appreciated.
